really get happier? In a new review in the journal
Nature Human Behavior, researchers
Elizabeth Dunn and
Dunigan Folk found that many common strategies for increasing our happiness may not be supported by strong evidence. In today's
Short Wave episode, Dunn tells co-host
Aaron Scott about changes in the way scientists are conducting research, and how these changes led her team to re-examine previous work in the field of psychology.
